Went here after an afternoon at the beach to chill out with my misses.
We realised we hadn't really eaten anything at all that day and we're very hungry, concidered fish n chops but everything was closed.
She said how about pizza and searched and found Very Italian Pizza.
Turned up and parked near by and saw the place was more like a family run Deli, loads of options on the menu, every one was jolly, welcoming and made you feel like you were with your family, even the customers were joking with us and suggesting stuff as we ordered.
I love good pizza, one of my favourites is a ragu or similar topping, the lady who served us said they also have meatball pizza, so I asked what she preferred, "obviously meatballs are better" she said, so I went with that.
Now some may think "what? Meatballs on pizza?"........and think it's odd.
Believe me when I say, this thing was so good a was praising gods from different religions......the dough and the cooking were amazing, the meatballs were home made, I think pork and beef, and the size of tennis balls, five of them, the tomato sauce had so much flavour and the cheese was amazing too, delicious gooy toasty mozzarella, and fresh basil 😘👌!
I would never have believed I could get a pizza like that on a back area in Saltdean.
My misses had a mozzarella pizza, fresh hand knotted cheese, both pizas were amazing.
I'm going back as soon as we can to have a sit down meal and try all vtbe amazing options they have, one local suggested the spicy smoked cheese, and there are about 20 or so pizza options, hopefully some Fritto Misto too.
Great value for the quality and care that goes into what they serve.
Show these people the love they will show your taste buds and drop by, you will not be disappointed if you love great...
Read moreWe had been past VIP Pizza many times but never been in. Well it was well worth the wait, firstly i would recommend that you book so your not disappointed that you can't get a table. On arrival the staff were friendly and very helpful, and not once were did we feel pressured to place our order. The menu is quite extensive and if your a pizza lover then you have enough options to keep you busy, plus the selection of pasta dishes will make your mouth water. We never had one but the sea food dishes looked amazing
The food we ordered was really good, and you could see that it was freshly cooked. Over all we had a three course meal, bottle of wine and a couple of beers and the bill was very competitive, and for the first time in a long while a service charge was not automatically added to the bill, we had to ask if we could leave at tip. A nice touch not to have it just added as a matter of course.
As a result of our experience and the food we had we will defiantly be returning, my only hope is that the staff remain as they were, friendly and attentive going forward. We have been to other places which had fantastic service the first time, but then when going back the second time the service was terrible.
So a big thank you to the VIP team and we look forward to seeing you...
Read moreMy husband and I came to this restaurant back in the day when the establishment was small and quaint with tentage at the back and the pizzas were heavenly. We came to Rottingdean last week for a holiday and booked again with our family. Excited to have an authentic Neopolitan pizza again we arrived and looked again at the menu. My husband chose the Cinque Formaggio which he enjoyed, my youngest the margherita and eldest daughter the carbonara and then I ordered the Rustica Bianche (we always have the Bianche when we visit Italy) and I chose this particular pizza for the variety of fresh mushrooms and black forest ham that was advertised. It arrived to the table and I was surprised with the ball of mozzarella which was freezing in temperature and made my pizza cold and the cheese solidify which was nasty but just as bad were the slimey canned mushrooms which were used and were vile. I spent our holiday singing your praises and we discussed with enthusiasm what we all wanted and I was let down and disappointed. I would not recommend this restaurant to my friends and family in the area. It seems that greed has affected...
